華盛頓11月6日（路透）——美國總統川普週五任命長期幕僚史蒂芬・米勒（Stephen Miller）出任白宮幕僚長。在共和黨失去國會控制權後，川普讓這位若干最強硬內政政策的設計者，掌握華府最有權勢的職位之一。WASHINGTON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - US President Donald Trump named longtime aide Stephen Miller as his chief of staff on Friday, giving the architect of some of his toughest domestic policies one of the most powerful jobs in Washington after Republicans lost control of Congress.

米勒將接替蘇西・威爾斯（Susie Wiles），在總統準備面對由民主黨主導的眾議院與參議院，以及國會對其政府展開一波調查之際接下此職。Miller, who will replace Susie Wiles, assumes the role as the president prepares to confront a Democratic-led House of Representatives and Senate and a wave of congressional investigations into his administration.

米勒長期主張擴張總統權力。他接任之際，共和黨在週二期中選舉失利，可能使川普更仰賴行政權來推動其內政議程。A longtime proponent of expansive presidential authority, Miller takes over at a moment when the Republican Party's defeat in Tuesday's midterm elections could leave Trump more reliant on executive power to advance his domestic agenda.

川普在社群媒體貼文中稱米勒是「我最信任的顧問之一」，並讚揚威爾斯「表現傑出」。川普表示，這項人事異動將於週一生效。In a social media post, Trump called Miller "one of my most trusted advisors," and praised Wiles for doing "an outstanding job." Trump said the change would take effect on Monday.

一名白宮官員表示，米勒獲任命顯示川普無意重新思考其政策，反而是在獎勵最忠誠的幕僚。A White House official said Miller’s appointment signals that Trump has no intention of rethinking his policies and instead is rewarding his most loyal aides.

這名官員說：「他沒有要改變路線。」儘管數以千萬計的美國選民否定了川普的內政議程與外交政策。“He’s not changing course,” the official said, despite tens of millions of American voters repudiating Trump's domestic agenda and foreign policy.

川普本週表示，他願意與國會山莊的民主黨人合作。但數名白宮官員表示，拔擢以言詞尖刻且不妥協著稱的米勒，可能意味著將採取更具對抗性的做法，並重新推動總統在移民及其他議題上的議程。Trump said this week he was willing to work with Democrats on Capitol Hill. But elevating Miller, who is known for being caustic and uncompromising, could signal a more confrontational approach and a renewed push to advance the president's agenda on immigration and other issues, several White House officials said.

據一名聽取此事簡報的人士說，在週二選舉前夕，川普因民調支持率跌近歷史低點，對其政治與溝通運作感到不滿。本週，他表示在民主黨重新掌握國會權力之際，白宮需要「更積極」。Trump had been displeased with his political and communications operations in the run-up to Tuesday's election as his public approval ratings fell near record lows. This week, he said the White House needed to be "more aggressive" as Democrats retake congressional power, according to a person briefed on the matter.

米勒在獲任命後於X上表示：「現在的使命比以往任何時候都更加清楚。以我們全部的靈魂奮戰，支持我們的總統，捍衛這個壯麗的共和國。」"The mission now is more clear than ever," Miller said on X after his appointment. "Fight with all of our soul to support our President and defend this magnificent Republic."

即將成為新任民主黨籍眾議院議長的哈基姆・傑佛瑞斯（Hakeem Jeffries）在X貼文回應這項任命，稱米勒是「魯莽的極端分子」。Hakeem Jeffries, who is set to become the new Democratic speaker of the House, responded to the announcement by calling ⁠Miller a "reckless extremist" in a posting on X.

米勒主導移民掃蕩行動MILLER DRIVING IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN

41歲的米勒是川普任職最久的幕僚之一，也是少數在川普第一任與第二任任期全程任職的人之一。Miller, 41, is one of Trump's longest-serving aides and one of only a few who served throughout his first and second terms in office.

自川普2025年重返白宮以來，米勒正式擔任威爾斯麾下的副幕僚長，但他在川普大部分內政議程中發揮超乎職銜的影響力，也深受總統信任。Since Trump's return to the White House in 2025, Miller has officially served as deputy chief of staff under Wiles, but he has wielded outsize influence across much of Trump's domestic agenda and has had the president's ear.

他最為人所知的，或許是主導川普強力的移民掃蕩行動，並設定每天逮捕3000人的目標。為達成這項目標，美國移民執法人員戴著面罩進入全國各地社區，愈來愈多地逮捕沒有犯罪紀錄、且已在美國生活數十年的人。He is perhaps best known for driving Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown, setting a goal of 3,000 arrests a day. The efforts to meet that target pushed masked US immigration officers into communities around the country, increasingly arresting people with no criminal records and who had been living in the country for decades.

不過，這項掃蕩行動在美國人之間評價不佳。本週稍早完成的路透／益普索民調顯示，僅36%受訪者表示支持，54%表示反對。The crackdown, however, gets poor marks with Americans. Just 36% of respondents to a Reuters/Ipsos poll completed early this week approve of it, with 54% disapproving.

眾議院監督暨政府改革委員會首席民主黨議員羅伯特・賈西亞（Robert Garcia）表示，該黨計畫調查米勒的移民政策。他說：「史蒂芬・米勒應該找好律師。」Representative Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, said the party planned to investigate Miller's immigration policies. "Stephen Miller should lawyer up," he said.

米勒也深度參與川普改造聯邦官僚體系的行動，該行動導致2025年數以萬計公務員遭解雇。他也是政府與大學、多元化計畫及其他機構交鋒背後的推動力量。Miller was also deeply involved in Trump's campaign to remake the federal bureaucracy, which led to the dismissal of tens of thousands of civil servants in 2025. He was also a driving force behind the administration’s battles with universities, diversity programs and other institutions.

鷹派外交政策HAWKISH FOREIGN POLICY

在外交政策上，米勒一直公開支持川普對加勒比海與太平洋涉嫌載運毒品船隻發動的致命軍事攻擊；這場行動已引發法律疑問。On foreign policy, Miller has been a vocal supporter of Trump’s deadly military strikes on boats suspected of carrying drugs in the Caribbean and Pacific, a campaign that has raised legal questions.

他也曾讚揚美國與以色列對伊朗的攻擊，並為海上封鎖與制裁辯護，稱這些手段可削弱德黑蘭，並限制其威脅鄰國的能力。在選民本週懲罰共和黨、部分原因是伊朗戰爭造成的經濟後果之後，目前尚不清楚這是否仍是他的看法。He has also praised US and Israeli strikes in Iran and defended a naval blockade and sanctions as ways to weaken Tehran and curb its ability to threaten its neighbors. It is not clear whether that is still his view after voters punished Republicans this week in part for the economic fallout from the Iran war.

川普第一任期時曾任時任副總統麥克・彭斯（Mike Pence）幕僚長的馬克・蕭特（Marc Short）表示，川普在米勒身上「得到的是一個與他緊密綁在一起的人」，而且此人願意就移民與國會調查等議題與國會交戰。Marc Short, who was chief of staff to then-Vice President Mike Pence in Trump’s first term, said that in Miller, Trump is “getting someone who is wed to him” and who is willing to battle Congress over issues like immigration and congressional investigations.

蕭特受訪時說：「這不表示外界對兩黨合作立法有很高期待。」“It would not suggest that there is high expectation for bipartisan legislation," Short said in an interview.

國防部長彼得・赫格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）因伊朗戰爭面臨民主黨要求彈劾，他在社群媒體貼文中寫道「愛國者掌權」，慶祝米勒升任，反映部分川普盟友對米勒獲得更大權力的熱情。Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who faces Democratic calls for impeachment over the Iran war, celebrated Miller's promotion with a social media post reading, "Patriots in control," reflecting the enthusiasm of some Trump allies for putting Miller in a position of greater authority.

選舉挫敗後改組SHAKE UP AFTER ELECTION SETBACK

白宮幕僚長通常作為總統的守門人，擁有重大影響力。擔任此職者負責管理白宮幕僚、安排總統時間與行程，並監督其他政府部門與國會議員相關事務。The chief of staff typically wields great influence as the president's gatekeeper. The person manages White House staff, organizes the president's time and schedule, and oversees other government departments and lawmakers.

一名白宮官員表示，69歲的威爾斯週四晚間提出辭呈，將轉任川普的政治運作部門。Wiles, 69, who submitted her resignation on Thursday night, will move to Trump's political operation, according to a White House official.

這名來自佛羅里達州的資深政治操盤手，是第一位出任白宮幕僚長的女性。The veteran political operative from Florida was the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff.

她把數十年的政治經驗帶進此職，並被認為比川普部分前任高階幕僚更能以紀律運作。即使今年稍早因早期乳癌接受治療，她仍維持職務。She brought decades of political experience to the role and was regarded as running a more disciplined operation than some of Trump’s prior top aides. She maintained her role even while undergoing treatment earlier this year for early-stage breast cancer.

威爾斯很少挑戰川普的政策，但為經常混亂的運作帶來紀律，也被視為理性的聲音。她的離職使外界質疑誰將扮演她的角色。Wiles rarely challenged Trump’s policies but brought discipline to an often chaotic operation and was seen as a voice of reason. Her exit raises questions about who will play her role.

川普在2017年至2021年任期內先後換了4名幕僚長，人數異常偏高，外界認為這些幕僚長都難以約束這位難以預測的總統。Trump ran through four chiefs of staff – an unusually high number – during his 2017-2021 term, as they were seen to have struggled to rein in the unpredictable president.
